Tamiya is proud to announce a yellow-colored variant of our popular semi-assembled Carrera GT. Featuring the same premium quality construction of our silver edition, this version features a lush yellow body coloring and sleek black-colored interior. This high quality replica painstakingly reproduces every detail of the full-size car, while semi-assembled style means even non-modelers will have no difficulty putting it together. This model is crafted from a variety of high quality parts, including ABS resin cowling, metallic mesh grille, synthetic rubber tires and die-cast metal parts. Assembly of the delicately curved body follows that of the full-size car, with a beautiful paint job adding the perfect finishing touch. Durable die-cast suspension arms combine with working dampers and stabilizers for real-action suspension. Turn the steering wheel and the front wheels actually move. Metal hinged doors, hood and rear cowl open realistically to display a fully detailed interior, luggage compartment, V10 engine and surrounding monocoque frame. The rear wing pops-up to extended position when license plate is pressed, while the hard-top roof can be removed and stored under the hood for convertible style. The wrench tool features a magnet for opening and closing the hood and rear cowl. Only slight assembly required. Because of the large size, UPS ships this at the Oversize 30 lbs. rate.

Once in awhile a book so important to road racing fans arrives, we simply can't ignore it. That is the case with the new book from David Bull Publishing entitled Racing in the Rain, My Years with Brilliant Drivers, Legendary Sports Cars, and a Dedicated Team.

Few can claim that their racing careers spanned the greatest decades in sports-car competition—the 1960s and 1970s—and then extended into the 1980s. Fewer still were consistently successful. John Horsman is one of the fortunate few.

The blue-and-orange Gulf-sponsored Ford GT40s, Mirages, and Porsche 917s prepared by Horsman and his team are among the most famous race cars ever produced. The all-star driver lineup that competed in his cars includes Derek Bell, Mike Hailwood, David Hobbs, Jacky Ickx, Brian Redman, Pedro Rodriguez, Vern Schuppan and Jo Siffert. The team excelled everywhere, winning Le Mans three times and the World Championship three times, and was particularly adept in wet-weather conditions where competitors struggled to match their pace. Some records achieved by Horsman’s team still stand forty years later.

Horsman’s vivid personal account takes you to the world’s greatest racing circuits and puts you alongside the drivers and the crew as you experience things such as Jacky Ickx’s prowess driving in the rain, the fiery determination of Pedro Rodriguez and his astonishing come-from-behind wins, and Horsman’s exciting solution to the Porsche 917’s handling problems, with a tail of his own design. The details provided in the behind-the-scenes operation of the team are phenomenal, spanning everything from the operating budget of the GT40 program to the tire pressures used in the winning cars at Le Mans. This is the definitive account of one of the most successful teams in motorsports.

This book is big and heavy (8 3/8" × 9" and 400 pages, about 3 pounds) with more than 250 black-and-white and 50 color photographs. It also contains forewords by Derek Bell, Jacky Ickx, Brian Redman and Vern Schuppan.

Once in awhile a book so important to road racing fans arrives, we simply can't ignore it. That is the case with the new book from David Bull Publishing entitled Vic Elford, Reflections on a Golden Age in Motorsports.

Vic Elford is the epitome of the classic racing driver: smart, brave, and, above all, versatile. His autobiography offers a personal perspective on the initiative and skills required to build a career in racing and in the 1960s and 1970s.

Consider Vic’s 1968 season. It began with his win in the prestigious Monte Carlo Rally followed by a win the next weekend in the Daytona 24 Hours. He was second at Sebring a month later, then in May scored an epic victory at the Targa Florio, which is considered the greatest win in Targa history. Two weeks later Vic won the Nürburgring 1000 Kilometers. Then in his first F1 race in July Vic took a badly outclassed Cooper T86B to a stunning fourth-place finish in the soaking-wet French Grand Prix.

As he relates his experience Vic provides insight on the drivers, team personnel, and cars that defined a glorious era in racing. He offers a personal look at fellow racers such as Jo Siffert, Brian Redman, and Derek Bell, as well as insights into team principals, including John Cooper, who helped begin the rear-engine revolution; Ferdinand Piëch, who led Porsche’s racing effort and later headed Volkswagen/Audi; and Jim Hall, whose Chaparrals rewrote the book on aerodynamics.

Vic’s keen sense of humor comes to the fore as he describes the hugely entertaining and seldom discussed “in between” moments racers experienced traveling from race to race. Richly illustrated with photographs from Vic’s collection, Vic Elford: Reflections on a Golden Age in Motorsports is a vivid, intimate account of remarkable period in racing and of the man whose character gave it so much of its appeal.

This book is big and heavy (8 3/8" × 9" and 288 pages, about 2.5 pounds) with 198 black-and-white and 24 color photographs. It also contains a foreword by Ferdinand Piëch.
